It's time for a new month long challenge over at Natalie & Amy's. We had some amazing entries last month for our 'things with wings' make sure if you entered you pop over & check our winner & Top 3. You never know it might just be you!!

I just love this technique it's got to be one of my favourite things to do!

COLOURING ON KRAFT

just loved making this card, I again used my fab new Spectrum Noir pencils....love them!

You all know how much I loves Humphrey!

Just loved colouring him & his duck friend in using my Spectrum pencils.

Hi & welcome to my small part of the WWW! If you are a regular vistor here you will know I have a slight addiction to different pencils, pens, inks, paints etc. That I use to colour my images with, well today is a first....I have coloured my image today using my new Spectrum Noir pencils. No pens just pencils on their own. Might try them with my pens next time. They are lovely to colour with, think I will be using these a lot.

Don't be to harsh, as it is my first time using them!!

Todays challenge over at My Time To Craft has a great theme, one I always love doing....

WHITE ON WHITE CHRISTMAS!

everything must be white except the image....

I decided to use a Sugar Nellie digi image that was a freebie, last week over at Kit & Clowder on Facebook. You really need to check them out as they always have something going on with a discount or freebies....

23 September 2014

Today sees the start of a new sketch challenge over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday....with the optional theme of 'trees & leaves' You will find the sketch here, or if you scroll to the end of my post it will be there.

Just a quick update on Nico, he went to the vets last night for his post-op check & everything is wonderful, thankfully no need to go back, unless there's a problem. Yay as far as I can see he hasn't even touched it, don't think he can actually get to it cus he's so fat! lol!

Anyhoos back to my DT card for Try Stampin'. I decided to use both the sketch & theme this week, it was really hard not using a stamped image but I managed it. Not sure I like it though, doesn't look anywhere near as good as it did in my head lol!!

20 September 2014

Sorry today's creation is a few hours late, my little stinky butt had his love plums removed yesterday. So I have spent quite a bit of time with him since he came home. As well as catching up on sleep, from not sleeping much on Thursday night through worrying about Nico!! Muppet I is!

17 September 2014

Not sure where my head is this week, worried about Nico having his love plums sorted on Friday no doubt lol! The things we put ourselves through for our animals. Not that I would have it any other way....he is doing really great the only reason I'm having him done is....when it comes to mating season next feb-may he will get nasty & all hormonal. So as I'm not breeding from him, it made sense to get him done as soon as possible....so Friday at 9:30 we are taking him to be done!

Anyhoos I'm here to show you my DT creation for The Stamping Chef. As always the theme is...

ANYTHING GOES!

you don't need to use a Stamping Chef image, but if you do, you double your chances of winning!

If your a regular you will know both me & Nige forgot our 16th wedding anniversary earlier in the month..oops! So I decided to make him a card for the 23rd of this month, which will be 19 years since he first kissed me lol! The silly things we remember!!

15 September 2014

Hi, I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Yesterday was our day at Gentleshaw & it was fab, spent sometime with Saxon our Wolfdog. Managed to squeeze in a few minutes to give him a brush, which he absolutely loves! Katie managed to have a quick cuddle with our newest baby, a super cute kinkajou or honey bear depends where you're from lol! I have pictures but they are on Nige's phone which is at work with him. But I will post a few from last week when I managed to have a snuggle, she is one cute little girlie!

Anyhoos, today is new image release day over at 'Inky Impressions' today we have some fantastic new fall images & sentiments for you to have a look at. You will find them all here!

As soon as I saw this image I fell in love with her, she is such a cute kittie!

13 September 2014

It's the weekend, whoop, can't wait to go to Gentleshaw tomorrow & see the animals. This week seems to have dragged & it seems like ages since we were there last Sunday. Just hope the weather stays dry!

Anyhoos, today sees the start of a new challenge over at My Time to Craft, where this week we want to see your.....

HALLOWEEN

creations, so the spookier the better. I decided to use an image I have had for ages & never used. I received it as a freebie when Just Inklined first started out....so thats gotta be a few years now!

11 September 2014

This week has been a funny one so far. Getting used to the girlies time tables at college is gonna take a while lol & having Nige home Tuesday & yesterday was fabulous.

He ended up spending his two days off building me an outdoor enclosure for Nico to play, dig & sunbathe in. Will be great just to be able to pop him outside, Nige has also managed to put an electric hookup in the shed, so I can go outside with my laptop & watch films whilst Nico plays.

Anyhoos the real reason I'm here isn't to rabbit on about that, it's to show you my latest creation for Moving Along With The Times. Where this week we want to see some

TEXTURE

added to your creation.

Ok so when I saw this theme I just drew a blank, as I don't own any of that paste stuff or frantage stuff. But then I had a 'oh you silly mare' moment....embossing adds texture, so that's what I did!

7 September 2014

Oops see I did have the post ready for yesterday afternoon, but I was in such a rush to go out & take Nico for a walk I didn't press publish lol such a numpty....

So sorry my post is a few hours late, we are trying to sort out a fenced off area outside for Nico. As we live in a terrace & only have a small slabbed yard, Nige was scrubbing it with bleach whist I nipped out & got some bark to put down. Now just need Nige to make a gate of some sort & some sort of covering so the damn cats can't get in & poop in there. Oh & to keep Charlie dawg out & Nico in of course lol!

Anyhoos, the reason I'm here on this Saturday morning is to post my creation for My Time to Craft. We have gone back to weekly, so if your joining us this week don't forget!

This week we want to see your

TEDDY BEAR PICNIC!

creations. As long as your creation has at least one teddy on your good to go!

I decided to make another Christmas card, for my box going to Gentleshaw

I really do love these Fizzy Moon bear stamps & the bonus is they were all reduced to 50p so I brought the whole set of Christmas ones & everyday for about £10!

As You Like It!- favourite season...winter, I love getting cosy on the sofa & watching Disney movies with our girlies. Or snuggling with hubby watching a movie. Walking in the early morning frost bird watching with hubby!Simon Wednesday- stamp no digiCrafty Hazelnuts Christmas- anything goes

5 September 2014

Well after such a pants time with my M.E this last fortnight I think I'm starting to see the light at the end. I'm still sleeping loads, but I kinda feel better in myself. Not so achy, which is great I can actually play with Nico again now. But I've been warned not to over do things by the boss man!!

I just want to wish my gorgeous hubby a Happy Belated 16th Wedding Anniversary for yesterday. With everything that's going on we both kinda forgot....oops!

Anyhoos the reason I'm here is to show you my creation for this months Craft Garden challenge. It is 5 days late oops, so lets get on with it!

This month we have a gorgeous mood board for you to look at & take inspiration from. You will find it here, or at the end of my post if you scroll down.

3 September 2014

I just want to apologise to all those who I regularly visit....my M.E has been an absolute toe rag this last few weeks, with me crafting in between sleeping. I've been sleeping on average 18-20 hours a day, so crafting has been done in between eating & sleeping lol! Hopefully this will go away really soon, as I am fed up of not being able to play much with Nico or see Nige & the girlies for very long! Nige did drag me out of the house on Saturday as we has promised to help with a bird of prey show. Don't really remember much of it lol I walked around in a daze. Sunday we managed a trip in to Wales to Lake Vwerny I slept all the way there, had a walk, fell asleep as soon as we got in the car again & after we had had burgers cooked by Nige I got back in the car & fell asleep while they went off wondering lol!! Then I slept all the way home as well, don't remember getting in to bed! Lol good job Nige is patient with me lol!

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Inky Impressions, where this week we have a sketch for you to follow. Please click here or scroll down to the end of my post to see the sketch.

1 September 2014

Today's creation is for a new image release over at Inky Impressions. All images are 'Back to School' related & are fabulous! Make sure you pop over & see all images & sentiments in the new release, the DT have made some awesome things using them!

I decided t make our Katie Kat a card for when she starts college next week. I know she is really scared & worried about it, as there's not many of her school friends going to the same college & I don't think there's anyone in her classes she knows. So I thought this might make her smile. I also used one of the sentiment to make a tag, now all I'v got to do is buy something for her lol....I made our Danni a card a few weeks back, just need to buy her something as well then all sorted for next week!

If you pop over here & leave a comment about our new release you might win one of our new release images!!
